Star Wars: The Force Awakens Just Dropped Some Sweet Character Posters, Check Them Out

Walking in to our Spectre screening, a colleague – who’s a hopeless Star Wars fanatic – paused mid sentence because his eye caught the one-sheet for Star Wars: The Force Awakens on the wall in the theater’s lobby. I forget his exact words, but the sentiment suggested that seeing the poster on the wall meant it was a bit more real, that the movie that opens in a little more than a month actually exists, and we’ll soon be able to visit that Star Wars universe, as a movie-loving community.

I wonder how he feels about these fantastic cast posters?

Star Wars flooded social media with five incredible one sheets aimed at what I have to believe are the main characters in J.J. Abrams’ The Force Awakens. (Still no Luke Skywalker, for those keeping score at home.) The posters confirm that, when dealing with the original trio, Force Awakens might very well be a Han Solo movie – though that means Chewbacca deserves his own poster, as well. I love the way the characters are (for the most part) strategically holding their signature weapons. Only Leia (Carrie Fisher) gets away with a side eye and a snarky slogan. Here are the five Star Wars one sheets release today. Do you think we’ll get an opportunity to buy our favorites?

Han Solo

Harrison Ford is "home," as he tells longtime co-pilot Chewbacca, revisiting yet another classic character from his body of work and rekindling the fanboy passions that have ignited countless lightsabers since 1977. Han, according to trailers, likely will be the one who guides Rey (Daisy Ridley) and Finn (John Boyega) on their quest – possibly to find look. Since he’s holding his blaster, though, we have to ask. Will he shoot first this time?
